Not sure what we can do to help but maybe it's just that you have upgraded and it may take time to settle down - You could try performing a system repair

Performing a system repair using PC Companion will often fix issues - This will factory reset your phone and erase all data so best to backup before you begin

Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process

If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

Already did that ..
i tried to recharge the mobile when its powered off
At 99% its come green flashing and the electricity sign is flashing appearing and disappearing !
Before i update from Kitkat i was able to use my mobile while im recharging it , but now when i use it some times a message appears tell me something like " the power im consuming is more than the mobile is getting from recharging " and it said leave ur mobile to be recharged .
Also im getting "No service" message on lock screen altough i have a mobile data connection !
My mobile became strange ..please do something i started to hate my mobile 😞

That's normal if you are using the phone while playing games or multitasking. 

Are you charging the phone through a Sony's wall charger? Dock? or Computer?

Im using a wall charger
And nothing new ive used .. the same cable & charger
i know that's normal .. but im not multitasking only chatting on messenger
Before i update i was doing the same activity and the battery was recharging and it's percentage is going up .. now it's going down
Plus the "no service" message appears on lock screen although i have mobile data active with an internet connection !
I think we may need an update to fix all of this bugs or if there are different ways to solve . Please help me .

You could repair the phone, if that doesn't work then you have to go to settings > power settings > battery > check what's using up your battery

Yes i have the same issue after install of Lollipop yesterday. First Charge has problems with a maximum of 83% Charge only.

I note same issues reported on XDA forum as well.   The charging side of the Z2 seems to be a real weaknes with Sony kit?!

Come on Sony lift your game here please...
